[Worthy to value your year]

If emotions were to kick feelings out, will there still be a point to acknowledge pain or happiness? I don't know what to make of that question, but I just treated it as a statement. For me, it all whisper a brittle sentiment in soft whistles. But then, the year has reached its fold and in ushers the new one.

Anew, it gives 365 days or a day extra if a leap year, and what everyone ought to ask self is what have they done with all those days passed in the current year prior to stepping into the new one. We all have resolutions, we swear to do this or that, we ask for things in our lives, we make promises, and all these are tied to the 12 months we have, pity it almost every year repeat itself that we fail to keep to them. For me, after having had many failures to my resolutions, swears, promises, and requests, told myself to from that year work on intra-month plan than I used to over a year.

I don't work on what I have to achieve, no, I work with what is ready to advance my course. Since I did so, my life has less self-blames from disappointments of not achieving targets. I simply look at what I want to do and formulate its strategy and follow its response to my attempts at success on it. I've learnt to cease being hard on myself. Practicing self-protection for avoidance of being harsh at self has helped grow my perspective on viewing a year, opportunity, surrender, worth and value, and saw loss as a lesson and a fail as a chance for a better start after a false one. I'm now gentle to myself.

Naturally, we measure our timeline of life in years, but what if we look at it on what you succeeded in rather? Instead of saying I turned 30 this be that in 2021I managed to be successful in achieving this and that. Day by day, putting year to our age is busy getting eroded. And, that if be done, will give you your worth in a particular year and your value will keep growing per your success. Let's redefine the way we count our years.

In conclusion: it's hard to stick to yearly resolutions, promises, requests, swears, and the likes, but easier to stick to your dream. What you need is just fuel that with build-up successes to your end goal. Then, what if you achieve all your goals before tear end? We never anticipate that because we already see it as undoable.  What's important is your review of self-worth to the end goal and the value you put in self to advanced opportunities, for it's sad to be extending resolutions year after year. Work on the progression you want with the material you are, hence it's vital to keep working at self-growth. Your time in a year matters, and even more is what you mean to your each day given in it, make it worth the value you are in it... dp

[The leader in command]

Some people are good at running a business but not managing people. The thought of having a certain type of an individual being a leader leaves one with bile strolling through their veins as they just don't have what it takes. Leadership is about charisma, people-centricality, presence, vision, and system before other aspects.

Leadership is a chance that you get to turn and make it what the desired result can mate for the outcome expected from your position. You have to influence good over evil, spread the spirit of unconditional care and uncontroversial support. It's about relying on facts more than opinions. Truths like "those who make early promises, barely keep them" and "position yourself before possessions" else "leadership can lead to crisis if lead with chaos"; should roam in your head all the time as it's a territory marked by mantras and mottos. And bear in mind that 'it never take a group, but you alone to lead the group' [1]. 'You don't need affirmation, you give it decisively, because you're a leader, but if you look back, it's your miss' [2]. Take your place for it's not about second in lead, but rather second in command.

A position of leadership presents to you either by fortuity or per plan, a causal for a chapter in your life that fulfill a mandate to the main goal or one of your set  targets. What you achieve should be not for your individual claim by shame, be rather bold about every victory no matter its irrelevance to the other who matters less, for it's a game of impressions to ones who matters. Leadership is about the team singing your praises as an individual. Your leadership style is your first stamp of individuality, it's key to instilling culture in the team.

As the head of the house, be prepared to be firm, listened to, followed, and feared by some at times, and that's on the positive side, then on the negative side be harsh because of being challenged, disrespected, ignored, and talked bad about. It all but depends on the level of your position in lead. If you're an incumbent you're mostly going to struggle in that you'll be reporting to the nexts whom may be the ones causing you the drama.

It might sound as if being an incumbent leader is tough, but it's not, thing is it's easy for them to detach themselves sans any consequences unlike in the case of an attached leader. Leading what you own is hard. Truth is, pressure of failure by you is more than thrice in that a fail means you're losing a part of your worth and lifelong livelihood. Try creating spaces of comfort and breath there. The stress that goes with leadership as an owner is unmatched with anything, it's so hard as expectations are higher than with an incumbent leader. It still though not say you shouldn't try it. The thrill that goes with leadership as an owner outdo many adrenaline rushes, and rewards.

In conclusion: 'if they want a leader, be the class of a leader they deserve; if they demand a commander, be that kind of a commander it befits. But if wants both, be a leader in command' [3]. Be never ashamed of doing that with patience, dedication, parity and passion. In business you have to be good at running an entity and managing people, and but possible that you may not be successful at doing both, so, be not good but excellent in either the one you choose because 'leadership is a struggle of equitable balance, and wherever you are planted, the leader in you will show' [4],,,so, let's see yours...dp

[Liberate your thinking]

To think in boxes spoils the thought tank, and how much it takes to restore the waste of used reserves a river to back-fill. How people view liberation an ignorance begging for a full course in liberty management. Free reign attracts to you the same crowd as the blank cheque spenders, the type that just don't know how to make of trust in them to do right and know what's enough for their value.

Give someone a blank cheque for them to use and you'll see, or tell them they've got free reign to do as they see fit and the results will knock you out for a week. With choice you need to be of sober mind as you need experienced emotions to feel the spirit of the giver. Think with all angles checked, and you'll never mess with any heart.

Learn to be more with logic and reason with your conscience, then you'll feel free being in your character. The person you are is judged by the thoughts they put to action. The beautiful thing about opening up your mind is coming up with big ideas that frees up your mental block. Nothing is as good as using your head freely. Ideas are borne out of being in a space that's allowing you to be your best of self.

In conclusion: liberty is responsive to any taker, and it goes against nothing. Be it that the taker is a user or an abuser, it obliges without saying, and that's what worries about it. True sense of liberation is responsibility, accountability, transparency, and honesty. Liberty is power, and what you think and do with that power is absolutely up to you. If you think freely of any bounds, favour or fear, you gain respect for your individuality and independence.

Liberation in thought processing is a bit of a challenge to those who finds it hard to be themselves enough. Compare your thoughts never but benchmark your acts to gauge how far your thinking is. Just be, unlock your power to think, that's then you'll fully unleash the potential laid within your greatness. With a good clean mind, thinking can be fun. Unclutter your head and the mind will think better. Just empower yourself for none'll do so for you if aren't free enough to recognise your liberty to be and do you for you as you. The new struggle is for free thinking...dp

[Approach on opportunity attraction]

It takes years of hard work for others to be wishing and dreaming of you as an ally, associate or partner. For people to be like that around you, takes a serious achievement. What every person gets attracted to is who you are, whom you associate with, what you are, where you make your living, your mobility mode, and other statement making things of status. But what they all forget is that those things they’re attracted to are yours and in no way will they be theirs unless through joint arrangement like marriage, partnership or co-ownership, and such aren’t easy and not applicable for just about anyone.

Being cool by association can be equated to entitlement and faking it till you make it. Being close to someone who’s made it doesn’t tend to benefit you in most cases as the one may be keeping you near them for something you do for them that’s profitable to them, or for recreational purpose, or for security purpose, but whatever it may be, it is against what you’re after. It’s sad to be telling someone about a business idea you have and have them tell you to stop joking, it says explicitly that they don’t take you serious and have none other than yourself to blame. How you approach a person of interest or of value to you, should be direct and not be any other way. You find someone go to an opportunity bringer while they reek of narcotics or alcohol and expect to be taken serious and listened to, or be that you have too long around such a person and after they read your weaknesses be then thinking about talking business with them, no, that won’t work at all.

What opportunity seekers should learn is that the best time to talk business is when nothing about you is known and have the opportunity bringer be after your profile, not any other way. Be interesting, not too much. Don’t take an opportunity bringer to your floozies and be star struck and expect to be saying anything worth listening to after. Be organized, presentable and if be in what you’re working with the better as it shows you mean business. Why should you go meet an opportunity bringer with ties because you’re ashamed of the overalls you don when you’re on the tractor with or working that gearbox with? Proposing business is about more what you are before whom you are, so let it come forth first.

Sad seeing some spending more than they could afford so as to be seen as all that for impression, or spending so they could court their target, and but that not working all the time in that what you’ll be saying shouldn’t present a mismatch from your act. Appearing cool needs to be sustained and that’s costly. When you are in seek of assistance, just be frank and unapologetically go after it. Being cool by association won’t help as you may mention some names and piss your opportunity bringer with people who won’t even do anything for you. State your case and be judged upon that.

In conclusion: if go in first time as a funny man you’ll be making an impression that you’re that stress reliever and forget about any money to you about anything serious beyond that, and that’s the nature of business. Be careful of how your presentation is to people all the time. It looks good being in the company of achievers but your behaviour is key in how they see you because they’ll only want to do something with you only if you prove to be worth their risk. Also, lying with unsustainable truths not worth the impression put on. Being with them doesn’t automatically say they’ll assist you, and you telling them to do for you and throwing tantrums after their failure an own goal too. Stick with your first presentation and die with it else you’ll be viewed in a bad light and that’s worse than keeping quiet with your aspirations...dp  

[Ordinary citizenry]

Words like “ordinary man on the street” and “ordinary citizens” bore me to perishable state. I don’t know about you, but as for me, anyone using them and still be calling themselves a leader is a worry to note. Thing is, ordinary refers to deficient quality, inferior, average, and all other uninteresting meanings that actually demean and belittle those they address.

What this translates to, is that the one calling others ordinary is extraordinary and important, hence they be driven in escorted blue lights and guarded in almost all spaces they occupy to show us they aren’t like others. In case you’re wondering, on this one I’m addressing politicians. Something they should underline in bold is that those in business aren’t ordinary, and that they’re even more important than them who sustain their lifestyles through worn out rhetoric and empty promises. Newsflash is: “below ordinary is where you’re slotted.”

The sad reality is that the very citizens you belittle are finding themselves in positions they are because of your below average thinking and reasoning capacities. It breaks my heart witnessing how you fail yet haemorrhage taxpayers’ money with poor decisions taken. Thing is, with politics there’s no calculated moves because accountability is a foreign misconstrued conception by the ordinaries ruled over. It’s a very sad and sorry episode to be in and having no power because some of the ordinary elements fight from dawn to dusk for their allegiance to them. 

Ordinary isn’t a usual in the world of business because the cost of a miscalculation is accounted for and punishable unlike with the below average bleeders of governance in lead. Anyone who accepts they’re ordinary should take another look at themselves and think again. Saying you’re ordinary is a mockery to your bearer and creator. Think of your fingerprint, everyone’s is unique to show you that you’re not ordinary. If we were ordinary, then we would’ve seen by intellect, your thoughts should be poorer to the myriad of hoarded political leaders shelved in many parliaments of this world.

In conclusion: don’t conform to preconceived standards that you’re shoved with via media, you’re an exceptional being that is manipulated to see and think of self as below great that you are, never allow that. Judge yourself by your ideas and skills, and you’ll realize how unmatched by them you are. Put your head up for you’re better in an extraordinary way, as an exceptional being doing extraordinary things ordinarily...dp  

[To be teachable is a blessing]

Being self-conscious of your knowledge limit is one of the brightest measures to gauge oneself with honesty by, to avoid embarrassment and self-hurt. It’s not to say that you need to lower your esteem or develop inferiority complex attitude towards self, no, but simply being reasonable with self for your level of knowledge. To not know and declare it is much wiser than to not know but hide it in that there’s danger alone in doing so.

What people should realize is that if one doesn’t know it doesn’t say they are foolish or stupid, or worthless. What non-knowledge of something should be seen as is an opportunity to learn and as nothing below that. Anything that’s new to you presents a chance for something new to know. If only we looked at things like that in a different light then we would’ve been far off as a nation, and also wouldn’t be looking at someone who’s non-knowing differently.

Our attitudes are clouted by unnecessary thoughts to life and its things. What others say about life and its things also influence the thinking machinery in us. If we take life as it is and be still in it then we wouldn’t treat one another same way we do like it is always. We need to remember that our understanding of things and people won’t be same and so is our education levels, and should respect that. Some of us lack that very basic education of understanding the outer workings of education in its uniqueness that makes us interesting beings we are and you a unique subject of interest.

In conclusion: to be available for a learning process is a big favour unto self and an extended benefit for the nation as a whole. What you learn is a positive thing for not only you and your akins, but for the industry you’re in too. The gains of education are huge if your soul and spirit are wholly invested in it, should you allow for self to be teachable. Know that to be teachable is a blessing in that you attract good things to self that in the end gives you growth that morphs your importance as a person you are. Be teachable, and you’ll see what a blessing it is...dp

[More personal in person]

Ever asked yourself what goes into the wild energy that drives an argument from a mild spirited debate to an uncontrollable rage that so much cry in beg for a filter those involved deny it? When thoughts you know as facts gets challenged with mockery it does that to one. Anything that’s close to heart easily catches a choky melancholia whenever it meets a vile dip into ashes of corrupt verbal diarrhoea, as it riles the soul in a bad way the inner can’t handle better indifferently, with but just squares of scores to settle. It leaves no innocent ground to step on except near the good gates of cemetery. 

But then, being personal in business is unavoidable in that your soul is poured into everything that goes into building it. Whatever you’re doing as a part of that movement takes a bit of you and when it gets attacked you’ll defend it with your all because it’s personal to you. The harshest toll of truth you needn’t be afraid of telling is that nothing is as more personal as your own creation, and with business, it’s worse, as it has an array of elements in it.

In pursuit of one’s dream, the path to success has sweats stacked up with alienated window shopping aspirations that rhymes to no appoggiatura from any system that offers expiation. The loneliness that comes with the shine search narrows supply of friendly faces to crack smoked ice with. Sad thing is, your future asks for spectacles and no frame allows for squeeze of your size, thus leaving you with bitterness tattooed to your apposed memories.

In essence, attempts boosts never the underpaid in the process. Life of a businessperson a usual fixture in the slaughterhouse of hopes and dreams, and up to one to shield theirs with cred. Fails build a person only if are playing the hand of courage but in business reversing you into an arena of its own kind with thorny walkways. It’s hard cladding self with glory and get away sans and discard in there. The energy that roams the world of business touts strong soles with tenacity else you’ll die of complaints from bloated bureaucracy, nothing is more personal than that villipend feeling; it’ll make you appreciate your person more and also value your success during your season of economic harvesting. Go in with lowered expectations.

In conclusion: with all those bad registrations of horrid experiences there’s no way you’ll have anything good to say about your journey. But, as they say, make a lemonade of the lemons they give you and with stones thrown at you build a strong staircase to your way up in. Assign yourself to that  yang of self-ability. Be there in person for self and more personal. We all know that negativities that cluster the business world can demoralise you but armoured with your vision nothing can come to vanquish thy passion embellished within. One good thing about starting self is the pragmatic lessons roaming abound to imbibe to your growth. Be there to witness yourself...dp

[Circumstantial liars]

Business will make you a liar, underline that and accept to live as one. Operating a business a painful experience in your early days. Most of the times things don’t go as expected and mess up with your promises to your given word. Truth is, service providers don’t respect and treat a startup same as an established brand. Also, not to be quoted as being racist, but in some occasions the skin colour adds to the type of service you’re to receive after the size of your business. Believe you me, the world of business is a tough street to walk if aren’t with the right pair of shoes on your feet.

When they say that you have to think on your feet they really mean it. The thick politicized veil of the corporate world is not a sweet chariot that’ll take you home anytime soon, if you catch me. The startup operator has the hot iron with no handle in their hand all the time and expected to still come out of the house with ironed clothes. The playing fields are different and stages of competition aren’t similar. What I’m still not sure of is who’s outside the stadium and how do they see the game as they have the chance to peep in both stadia; their conclusion is of much importance to the game partakers, especially if they’re strict about voting with their pocket power.

Running a small business you get to learn that when they say the service provider close doors at 15:30 to make sure that you’re there by 15:10, otherwise you may find them for you closed at 15:25, and none to stand up for you to be opened for. Such instances makes the list in the lies you’re ever accused of. What’s sad is, in almost all of the lies you tell to your consumers, they aren’t of your doing but by others failing you purposely at times. In business there’re no true friends, put that in your head if you don’t want to learn the hard way. The people you engage with are simply civil rivals who opt to keep you near but not close to them.

Strategies and plans deployed in the small business level vary with those in the larger entities because the struggle is different. With a small business it’s a fight for gradual infiltration while in the case of the latter being maintaining position and expanding the brand’s offerings while fighting for consumer retention. What the game stands as is, the smaller player lie for covering disappointments resulting from the big player’s sabotage while the bigger player lies to sell their offers and their brand with the one brand one product message rhetoric.

In conclusion: rest assured, everyone in business is no different to you, what differentiate you from them is the size of their entity in market share and asset base. Apart from those, both you and them are liars, and that’s the nature of the business world. What separates the market is the sweeter lie to the other. Then, let’s agree that all in business tell lies because of circumstances and, despite all the sad stories there’s no other place we’ll be other than in here making runs in-betwixt the thrills that makes it interesting to be in this tough and mysterious world...dp    

[Consistency in persistence and perseverance]

If you want the day dirty you’ll play in dust, and if you want the sun dirty you’ll throw mud at it[1]. This’s the time of trials and tribulations. The pandemic has hurt and shaped the norm into a different figure that’s so unyesterday yet today for the better of a bad tomorrow. The new terrain is a non-negotiator and an aggressive bully that knows exactly how to wipe out a whistle-blower that’s loudest in the loud hailing choir. And to survive its muster guillotine, do you mask the truth or give pressure a make-up? Show up for your success, your calling dream is relying on that to wake your sleepy vision.

From anyone who has a hit of achievement to their name there’s a wound of reminder. Obstacles in their journeys to their success were thrown their way time and again but chose to trek on despite and as such should be the same with us today. To be honest, what is sounding and valid as reason to your failure can be an excuse to another, so the message is simple: “just push harder” and it shall be.

The open secret to success in business and life is consistency, without that in your recipe you are heading for a futile undertaking route. Success is like a child, it starts somewhere and gradually grows, and to strut your character by its culture. Success is a story that lives on storyline and that is dependent on you the starter of that. You can’t start without a dream and passion else there’ll be no point of it all. In business you pursue a dream.

In conclusion: a language with many tongues to its coding it is, business rewards those with resilience and focus. How deep you are into your self-belief, vision and product will be shown in how you’re not prepared but by how much you put in the fight for your success. Business is for the success driven through results seeking and goals setting. What you want to achieve out of yourself will determine the quantified quality you’ll extract out of opportunity you set your sights on. Make no mistake of assuming that success in business is only based on numbers, no, it’s based on a number of factors that are in control by others not you, and that’s the sad reality of the phenomenon called “the market”. But, of all things to consider, you should be consistent on peddling your persistence and persevere regardless of what the market and its gate keepers bar for entry. Just know that if it’s for you it’ll at the end be yours if keep at pushing for it...dp

[Punishing the wrong player]

How many times we get it wrong is just but puzzling. I shake my head looking at the signages of small businesses every sight I throw my eyes at. Job creation at its very ground roots level, but then, why do we keep standing in their way of growth? 

Legislation a heartbreaker

I say this based on the way in which our own governments are killing hopes, dreams and aspirations of those trying to do something about high unemployment gaping at the global population. I still see none in my corner nodding in support. Okay, then, devil is in the detail as they say and maybe you’ll say ‘amen’ to my sermon ending. 

The ministries of labour the world over are busy year after year trying to make their employment legislation work but unfortunately they arrive always at the opposite end of their desired result. Amendment after the other and yet no employer seem to be happy. This is because our governments fail at consulting the employer properly before sealing their drafts which are at most in favour of the employee. Not that it’s wrong, but bad if look at it from the employer’s perspective. However you define it, it still is demoralising to say the least.

How about this scenario?

Think of a law abiding citizen who starts a small establishment to survive. He starts off by hiring an unqualified assistant to help out and hold the fort for him when he goes out to stock or run some errants just as others similar in his position will do. He sits his assistant down and arrives at an agreement that he can afford to pay him so and so much, of which the assistant gladly accepts. Then as days go by someone with good though bad to the employer intentions, advise the assistant that the employer should up his offer on wages as that is by law not on par with regard to the minimum wage scales. The assistant goes to the relevant officials to report that and is told the offer is below scale and should be paid accordingly. The employer due to reasons cited from the beginning, can’t afford the revised offer and lets the assistant go with the little he could afford with a bronze handshake seeing that it doesn’t measure up to the golden handshake witnessed in many a high-profile incumbent’s case.

At home the family of the assistant won’t be able to receive the little he could be collecting monthly anymore, and starts blaming the employer for failing to meet the basic income set out in the legislation and for having terminated their arrangement. The employer is still starting out and however small the amount may be is but still steep for him to can offer the assistant. As things stand, who do we point the finger at for failing the family of the assistant? Whatever your answer, ask yourself why.

Statutory regulations a sift trick

Some in the know may pose sad questions atop the already sad reality of the small time self-employed person. Did he register the business first before hiring the assistant? Does the business have a tax clearance, a bank account and any employment benefit if be? But the truth is that not everyone will afford satisfying those requirements before trying their luck first at whatever they want to start. Then again, how will you advise a person in that state? Further again, how right are you going to be in advising him that way? Why can’t something as simple as an affidavit be valid as a business relationship instrument beats me. A round table unfortunately a must for all relevant stakeholders to come up with creative yet accommodative alternate entry solutions to enable even the hand-to-mouth operator a chance at going formal. Let’s shake the ground; break the mould and all may reap the compromise fruits.                               

In conclusion: to some I may sound a bit pushing the good brought by legislation aside, but rather pleading for a balance. Getting penalized for one’s efforts at alleviating the other’s poverty is painful. To some degree it is right but then on other hand to some extent I believe they should check first into one’s coffers to verify if whether they can afford to comply or not, and also how best to allow the beginners a chance at employing others for a certain period before complying. Or best, break threshold compliance into tiers and maybe full compliance will be a small step from eventuality.

If only our lawmakers could hold their horses and collaborate with all affected parties maybe they’ll adopt the models used in neighbouring states by their counterparts on how to empower small businesses. We should not shy away from praising them on how they demystify the red tape small business operators are so used to in many teritorries. The easier it is to run a business the rapid growth the economy will see. High unemployment rate is a result of unwilling leaders to work with willing solutions providers to reduce the numbers. What they ought to remember is that it is employers who take chances at creating jobs and not the other way round, lest they opt to flying out to those economies that will welcome them with open arms and be doing what they should be doing in their home economies elsewhere.

All things start with by-laws. In developing sound regulatory laws at municipality level, there'll be a conducive space that enables startups to thrive, a breathing space for small players. We need to lament this vacuum for lack of support towards local economy stimulation. What I say is in simpler terms that our governments should allow for startups a grace period in order to find their feet first before they come hard on them with regulatory requirements that sees them being treated like criminals and low life self-centred scums. Entrepreneurs should be seen as our now day heroes and not be labelled otherwise for their efforts, especially in these trying times. Let's stop punishing the wrong player for the effort put in...dp


[Partnership with a cohabiter]

The complexity that comes with business partnerships is in many forms of its problems, and one of them is that of going in with a cohabiter. Cohabitation, by any standards, pose a huge challenge to society as a whole before we chop it into different categories of its entrants. The reasons behind it remains to date a distorted chord of risky notes to strike. Then now, if opt out of a partnership citing a partner’s living arrangement, what does it make one out to be?

Many businesses have gone under because of partners’ private issues and one of the deadly silent contributors that’s tolerated is cohabitation. At times it ain’t a bad thing to choose working with plainly single and married persons in that with them you know what you’re dealing with, though giving certainty only provided they are open and transparent about their personal hardships in their relationships freely. A steady business relationship works best where honesty in that front is commonly practised. 

A partner should be upfront with you on critical aspects of their affairs if in a cohabitation set up like how long they’ve been in that arrangement, or intend staying in it, or their exit plan out of it. It may sound like prying but it’s important. You ought to also be sure of their legal implications on your business in the eventuality of their split. What is their arrangement on the business front? Will there be any share split, or a walk-away deal of some sort? Truth is, whether like it or not, if people are living together their career paths tend to somehow get shaped by the other party’s input and during break-up find that element eventually making an unprecedented appearance in the whole fracas. Mind you, any change in their living arrangement may prove to sabotage your worth and future livelihood. So, bear such factors in the fore when in your decision stage on whether or not to partner.

In the midst of everything, does the cohabiter have a valid will? Life has no guarantees shelved in its offers, so be sure to ascertain of its existence if be assured it's sorted. It’s not wrong to quell any nerve of doubt, it’s your responsibility as a partner as you’re right to protect your interests at all costs. The issue of shareholding makes a comeback when considering the size of the cohabiter’s equity in the partnership. My little piece of a danger point that you need to be clear about is the risky tide you swim into, and that’s if the latter holds majority stake in the business. A majority to them is a serious red flag, fly away far as you can if no chance is there for you switching positions. Partner with a cohabiter on terms of them being the minority holder of equity or else risk your climb to the nearest highest peak for a free fall death jump. Partner with them only where there’re prospects of stability and certainty that favours your fortunes more than it does them, for in these ones you just have no choice but be outright selfish.      

In conclusion: it should be borne in mind that it’s not about judging anyone’s circumstances but rather sift-sipping calcium out of marrow. Cohabitation can go either way at any given time, and good is if it leads to marriage or be bad and lead to a split. The biggest headache challenge is its non-binding nature. If take a dive with partnering with a cohabiter, which gender would make a safer bet than the other and how, should be invited in your play of gamble.

I’m not saying people shouldn’t cohabit or not do business with cohabiters, no, I’m simply italizing  the consequential circumstances thereof. Again, thus not meaning it’s a wrong thing to do, whilst also not insinuating that business dealings with a single or married person is beneficial, certain and fruitful, but inherently highlighting key aspects of a business relationship with someone who’s in that particular living arrangement. Fact is, going into business with just about anyone a risk irrespective of a person’s social status, hence going in you should be protective of probable emotional blows on your disappointment. And but, however you can do to spare yourself, how protective is the cohabiter of you and the business in their set-up?...dp     

[Value your surrounders]

Look to your left then to your right! To move back and forth there’s always someone by your side or behind you to hold you down with ease in times of need or doubt. The role played by the people around you at times surpasses even the one by your akins. Many people are where they are not because of their family, but because of familiar strangers who chose them over others. Such people are your friends, partners, consumers, colleagues, neighbours, etc, a mixed bag of well wishers and first liners of your defence, protection and help.

We at times downplay the impact of those whom we sit and chat with, or receive a call from just to say hi, that greeter with a golden smile for you; it may be anyone you can think of whom you seldom engage with or all the time. The role that they play is significant in that none relative to you will ever slot in and do the things the person did same as they. Similarly to business, the experience you give to any stakeholder will not ever be similar as by any other, and also how you make your partners experience you going asame. 

Switching the plugs, do you feel appreciated by those whom you’re surrounded with same as the way you do them? It’s a worthy question in that many a times we experience some imbalance in that regard. But then, if be it that they’re the ones putting in more than you should then try meet them halfway. The value of people who’re around you and with you for you as themselves is immeasurable. 

People around you are many things to you. They’re your character witnesses, personal brand anthemizers, supporters, admirers, partners in life and career, so, appreciate them no matter what. However many things they may be to you though, be still careful of the value they add on you for not everyone surrounding you is a good cheerer. Forget not to side walk falls from some of them. Being conscious will favour you vigilantly if sift with just honesty.           

In conclusion: reward with courtesy and respect. Those who’re there for you deserve to be treated with fairness and respect. The people close to you are vital for your safety and growth, and keeping them will remain fashionably important to you. Gratitude an appreciation given to the next to express your valuing and acknowledgement of them for their meaningful contribution in your life. And to show your valuing of your surrounders, you’ll live their teachings and reflect in continuum their invaluable lessons even after they’ve passed on. Remember: ‘nothing compares to the impact of the simplicity of wisdom unpacked by a seasoned grey haired sole.[1]. Sojourner,,,rest assured that Shatadi 'a bo Moyalenaga knows...dp

[Career guidance cred]

Year in and year out we hear about how our siblings and offsprings are to undertake a trip to go to some career exhibition or expo as they call them these days. But, are they worth the monetary value put into?

First things first; are the people organizing those expos creating value or simply extracting it? Secondly; are the organizing committee members befitting their task of choosing which expo to take the learners to? Thirdly; are the learners realizing the point of the whole exercise? Lastly; do the parents and guardians see logic in expos? I’m kind of curious.

Truth is it just goes with the individual. Thing is, all found in the chain are doing this for the benefit of the learners, whether for a gain or loss thereof. The unfortunate part of it all is how the learner’s mind is wired pertaining to the idea of career expo and their being there.

It’s so paining to know that some went on the trip just for the fun of it, some for a much needed outing, while others just because their parents forced them to go. The sad part is that there are those who deserve to be there but their parents couldn’t afford to and that’s reality of life.

But then, to them, does career guidance mean anything to them before even talking about going on the trip there? What parents should ask themselves is: "does my child go there to know more about their dream career or is it to go and seek the career he or she can pursue?" This is because a lot fail to assess self and find which career their personality fits and character complements.

Many a scholar reach final examination time still not knowing which career path to follow in spite of having had went on a trip to that so been hefty to thy parent’s pocket career guidance exhibition. Like it or not, a lot of such types are there in colleges and varsities adding to the scores of discouraged graduates.

In conclusion: career guidance starts at home before springing into the classroom. To the scholar it starts within self via culture of curiosity and eagerness to know. Fact is, before wanting to know more you need to first know and part of it is learning about self for what is suiting you...dp


[Assignment agent]

Is it rude to greet someone you don't know? Or is it maybe how you greet? This is a situation my friend encountered when he travelled to another continent. It never crossed his mind that a simple gesture of humanity can cause him so much trouble. He greeted some beautiful woman and met an avalanche of rudeness.

In Africa we're used to greeting strangers and is a normal thing. Where he was, his presence was experienced in a wrong way and left him hating the place, and worse was that continent as he got to learn that it's how people behave there, you greet only a person you know or have an appointment with. Random greetings are forbidden yet not published anywhere for public knowledge.

The other challenge was his failure to look at those who came hard on him in support of the stranger he greeted. Just like me, naturally he's shy and can't look at anyone in their eyes because of respect, and those people didn't know that about him as they never cared to observe that in him or even hear him out as they were obsessed with justice for the poor lady. It was only through a young PA to ambassador for one of African countries that he was then given a break.

The young lady explained to them about our culture as Africans and they got it at last. Sad thing though was their failure to accept their wrongdoing and apologize to him, but instead insisted that he should've learned about their norms first before visiting their country. To date, to me, that's plain rude.

In conclusion: it goes two ways; first is to research about customs and faith based issues when you travel to another country, second is for each government to teach their citizens about tolerance, courtesy and racial differences. People need to enter and exit a country and be left with a lasting pleasant experience.

Also, when you travel on business, find an acquaintant to be your assignment agent. Having that professional in your corner is convenient for your success and safety as the person would've prepped you and interpret for you in your engagements for the whole period of your stay because of being a native of the country you visited. Had my friend made arrangements for such an agent, his experience wouldn't have been that horrid. An assignment agent makes life easier, especially if you made your homework of finding the one who has a background of what you're into. Be savvy, make use of one in future...dp
 

[Who's business is it?]

Daily we hear about dangers of alcohol and drug abuse, but then when they come into the level of workplace that becomes something else. Many people do drink alcohol and smoke cigarette, and we say nothing bad that stigmatize them. Is it maybe because of their social acceptance due to commercialization or just plainly cool doing them?

There seem to be a wave of ill treatment directed at people who smoke and drink non-mainstream stuffs like codeine, weed, cocaine and other related stuffs. My issue with those tasked with managing workers is that they're judgmental against those who are using or consuming non-mainstream stuffs. Why be against someone who hasn't done anything wrong or say anything untoward that may be deemed abusive or offensive in any way to them or others? Why fight that which isn't provoking you or anyone? Or is it being proactive?

Some argue the impact of the stuff they consume, but that's not to the health of any staff member or you except theirs, so it shouldn't be of worry to you if they don't present any harm unto anyone and the business. What managers should encourage is dedicated spaces for such people. The truth is, if an employee who's used to being judged gets support and love unconditionally at work, they tend to perform at their optimum because of feeling welcomed. The exception to that should be to those who disclosed. Business is about making money with people who do what they're deployed to do for a reward, not a correctional institution.

In conclusion: in the workplace all of your staff are your family, and in each family we deal with individuality and oddities that makes us be who we are. In light of that meaning we need to embrace those differences between selves and not be discriminating against others. As a leader of your entity, protect your staff and encourage their self-being. Develop a policy that embrace individualism and protect oddity that brings out excellence in staff. Workplace kills character and soothe personality, and that's where we lose talent in that at most is hidden behind what we judge behavior of. So now, if a person is strange yet performing, who's business is it anyway what they do privately? Just let your staff be...dp

[Basics of business]

The ins and outs of business really are a world on their own that but anyone in business finding self without can be a mess. I say this after having watched such a storyline unfold on television not so long ago in a daily drama.

Some of the people who are in business today are generally in for a quick buck and out the scene in a speed of light with huge chunks of currencies to their name. This is to a lot what being in business is all about, but not a solution that world economies are in dire need of.

If we are to do something with expectation of good results it’s only right to do that right and so is with business. How do you expect to secure an investor if you don’t have the faintest idea what an investor is or what a trail balance is before talking of a balance sheet. I see a fist clenched my way but it’s true and you know it, though not pointing at you but rather generally speaking. It’s important for anyone who wishes to go into business to learn a bit from research and also liaise with existent players in the field about the industry they feel like casting their net into.

Going in blindly not only portrays naivety but also the level of one’s cluelessness. What the aspirant entrant ought to do is be patient and gather as much insight as possible prior to launching that attack or else risk losing your hard earned savings or worse, an investor’s call capital.

Basics such as USP, equity, capital vs budget, shareholder vs stakeholder, target market vs target audience, and so forth, are some of those jargons that you need to have a firm grasp of. I remember hearing someone asking her business partner what the difference between value chain and supply chain was, and but the partner with no shame answering her that she doesn’t need to know such as long as they can get that "supply tender" in that her knowing and unknowing of that answer making no difference as it’s not required in the tender bid document. What came to my mind was; 'loving money doesn’t mean you worship it, dwelling much into it though suggesting but otherwise as its victim of enslavement' [1], and I pitied the partner for partnering with such an ignorant young sole for that’s the attitude some partners face in their journeys to success or failure.

In conclusion: to some degree, every person is a lay person at some point, thus the importance of never stopping to learn. In order for us to move forward we need to see first if the shackles allows for our movement. In so saying, meaning that we should visit the idea of going into anything we wish to first before diving in.

With business, you’ll never stop burning fingers no matter how seasoned you are and but with good timing a novice can teach an old hog a trick if not two. But truth, is nothing can replace experience and passion...dp

[Ascertain your future]

'He who masquerades into every scene with his masked eyes to his feet isn't ready to face the talk of what's about tomorrow, so dance to the outskirts of his vision because now not a rehearsal of what's to be next, but only a referral to what's been in the present then' [1]. Never shy away from the future for it's the only hope we all have of our luck and rewards. Go into it fully conscious of what's in it for you.

In life, whatever you do should be based on some assurance of sort for something that's to give back for the effort. With each step you take you ought to be sure of your capability to deal with the outcome that may go either way as that's in the nature of unpredictability that untamable future is. Future is calcified with gifts, opportunities, omens, meeting new and familiar, we just need to be there and ready no matter what.

With a lot being said about the future, the list is long of what one hopes to achieve, but the question is; "what are you doing to ascertain your future?" It doesn't matter if it be of your brand or family or self, what's of importance is solutions in now for unforeseen circumstances. The pandemic has taught us that future is a ferus phenomenon that can devour any plan on the upcoming events. Planning on the far upcoming events to now include eventualities that were never thought of.

When starting anything today, think of it in its running tomorrow and see if it's what you want. If it's a career, for how long will it be open for the opportunity in its market so you go for it or focus on another. In whatever you do about your tomorrow, look at it in tricordia. Future is certain and you need to secure your position in it to ascertain your presence per your wish as it's in how you enter into your every next that determines your success detailing. Same as life being long or short, its extension or truncate is up to you its liver.

In conclusion: 'build yourself a world for others, it's the greatest future reference you'll ever have to your name' [2]. Having hopes rested on your shoulders a sure hateproof assurance to your legacy. You being the sanatorium for other fellows' peniaphobia is an honour not given to just anyone yet heavy in ascertaining their futures. One thing to know about future is that it's shaped by you through versed knowledge, networks, sacrifices and people, and if your soul isn't resolved to doing that, can unregrettably walk away 'cause unlike time, can be regained through retakes, though dependent on the cost of then wasted future...db

[Access your acceptance]

'Your haircut is just a hairdo until someone spots a flaw in your hairline'[1]. A hairstyle is like a house design, it depends on the stand it's built on. With a hairstyle, we can have the same but the head size and your hairline won't be the same, and so the way it looks on us will be different.

'At times beauty attracts not the beholder but the hater thereof' [2] for it depends on the eye that sat longer on the subject and also the target it appeals to. What you are to those seeing you should be a true  affirmation of what you are or trying to be. Wanting to be all things they call out on you is like chiseling a moving shadow that has no shape to start with, so know what you are in want of that which you seek for self. At the end it depends on what you trust, the people's sayings or the mirror, to get to your truth for you.

Being in control tramples the thought of being in charge, and but in the finishing line still to need the one in charge. What's big to come out to be still determined by the one in charge. 'Life unfairly fair in its static form of truth' [3]. Those in control are kinetic soles who keep runs to and from other related kinetic soles who receive their regulation from static soles, thus they in charge. It fascinates how chains of command are and used, and taking a comprehending sighter to spot the flaws of the hairline not as mistakes by the hair stylist, and pathologically accepting the patent defect unequivocally.

When you are led you need to come to terms with that, when you fall you must acknowledge the fact, when you aren't good enough you should admit it's not for you, and that's acceptance. Blame is good if constructive and, in return building ground for a better retake not in defense of the state but in support of your chance on stage once more.

In conclusion: to whom do you owe the first truth? What do you do to erase a foul relation memory? 'The history of motion pictures lies in not their length but in cast and their numbers sold, the trail mark that's their parvenuism' [4]. It's the reality for anyone involved and same is in everything in life, taking fact as is to heart and learning to accept the status of the moment sans challenging it. How you arrive to acceptance of fact as truth a process so delicate to one in that it gets molded by your truthfulness to self. Ability to access your acceptance a stem from your attitude towards life, reality and willingness to base from there. For some to accept is a tough pill to swallow than it is to deny and blame.

Access to acceptance a sign of readiness, situational awareness and embracement, and growth, and those are what makes you eligible for a chance at making it quicker and with lesser effort in that help is afforded easily. Be open to your understanding of the need for your availed room for acceptance. Your need of others and their things in your life have to come from your honest mind to reality facing YOU, and being true to that reality a bold position for your advancement to favour, with the thought though that favour goes bi-ways. Be vivid on what you accept so it be clear of your stance...db

[Being a leader is natural]

So, you care. You do that with each and every employee? How many are they? How long do you invest your time with each? When measure that, does it make any impact on the bottom line? Being in lead a deep touch on most issues in relation to the nexts, almost all the time because leading is about people and our interconnection before any other thing. It but causes corporate frictions the minute it hits the board level. This making me ask myself why something so good be seen and treated as bad? What do they fear that the good can't seem to see?

Being a leader needs balance on a whole lot of issues before they turn to their performance and other related issues of management. The leadership manuals do teach and guide you on what to be and do, how to be that and do that, but it never deal with the who you be and whom for. A leader comes as a package. We can't talk about a leader sans mention of their ownness, thus their individuality.

As a person first, a leader comes from a family and goes to a family after work same as everyone, a leader meets challenges that makes them lie to protect self or others, a leader reacts in some situations, we can't fail to remember such when they're caught up in smoky corners. It's a tough job being in that position, envy them you will but blame not when occasionally step out of character in run with personality, for in their shoes kick offs feel different than it does in yours.

I, for one, cheer for a leader who cares more about the employees than they do for the employer. But, good as you and me would like, they still have their set fiduciary performance requirements to meet. So, the danger to their meeting of targets is in them getting too close to employees in that it creates the risk of low productivity brought by the familiarity borne out of closeness with them. Again, a leader should create sustainable expectations, and time spent with employees may be distorted along the way due to busy work demands that may cause a negative sentiment. Employees may feel neglected as a result of that.

Employees are demanding, management is demanding, leadership pressurises via inbound and outbound competitiveness, governance adherence and, private and public responsibilities. If you want to lead, best you know that. The golden rule for anyone in that position is to get a good advisor, a kick-ass right-hand man and a two hearted life partner, and your job will be fun to do. For you to meet each side's needs you just have to align self with that rule, and just maybe you'll be yourself in your job.

In conclusion: being a leader isn't hard but tough and difficult as it challenges your mannerisms, skills set and knowledge base. It's a test of character to your personality, a builder of the being to better if not corrupted by the power that comes with the position. Leadership is a way of life for the humble and a way into life for the opportunist. Only you will know where you fall, but, being a leader is natural...db

[Grow your glory]

A lot of times 'a wrong decision in the eye of a critic is best to the thinking of a comrogue' [1]. What I tried to understand for a long time is the meaning behind this saying that "no comment is still a comment" and to date still not getting any substantiveness in it. But then, plainly, one does comment anyway 'cause it's a statement, albeit with no meaning. My point here that I'm putting forth is what one wants to achieve when making a decision to say or act out.

When you comment on an issue you are expected to convey a message of info on something to update or announce to the media or any party that's your audience. Putting out a message is a serious matter in that it's in a way a selling point for you to grow your glory through. Any platform of message conveyance should be treated with care as what you put out may come back to bite back at you in the future, so be responsible when giving out a statement as you're your own ambassador.

Of late, social media handles play a major role in vetting, whether you're a businessperson or employment seeker it's same, as such one needs to tread carefully as you never know what tomorrow brings. Also, how you decide is important, no matter what the issue or topic is. How you grow your glory goes with how you decide on your angle of tackling issues. People judge you on that and share with others what they conclude on you.

In conclusion: we live in a different time and we need to respect how we respond to that. The ways of connectedness gives off a lot too quick without us controlling any over what we do when in social spaces. It doesn't matter what you are and where you are, spectacles of gloom and glory are always watching, while ears are ever glued to the grounds for murmuring echoes of good and bad, ready to share before verification. The game of today is "who broke the news first?" and that also ravaged the quality of media. What still dominate the brain line is how one grow their glory. What for and how do you like to be known? It's up to you to draw your attention line...db

[Leave in power]

There's a difference between leaving and resting, you need to get your point across when you're intending to go. When you issue a statement it should highlight that, "your intent". Fact is, leaving in simpler terms means pulling out for good while resting meaning a pause to your course.

Saying goodbye not a simple thing to say and worse to recipient is how you say it in do before turning your back for good, leaving behind all and everything you got used to. But saying your last bye a sign of emotion, considered decision, growth and pressure from demanding better for your standard. At times you just feel it's your cue to withdraw from the scene that's suffocating you, as there's a lot to consider like one's freedom, time, feelings and opportunity.

It's usual for one to outgrow their environment and people around them. It sometimes be because of unresolved recurrent tendencies, fear of stagnation, and other related factors. When one takes a stance to leave you, it's hard, painful and disappointing, but it should be viewed as an opportunity for you on your side for a retake in your given back space usage, your reposition, your regain, and a chance to experience your feeling in that period. You learn from everything and that too a lesson for such an eventuality in future.

But then again, find that the person saying is leaving isn't actually meaning to, but just trying to send a message across. Doubt throwing technicality I suppose, though a move too risky to pull in some instances. And also, leaving should be clearly and explicitly communicated to avoid misinterpretation of it to taking a break from the movement. Be loyal to your intent and convey it in the best way it won't be a surprise to you for the reaction you get afterwards. Say and do what your mind tells you to, not test what others may do in return.

It's a sad situation to throw your toys into the play tray and have none ready to play with you. In so saying, never try what you won't be ready for. Say goodbye with assurance that you're certain of where you're going 'cause when you say it we respect it and do as expected; grant you a one direction passage to exit.

In conclusion: at the crossroads you either take a left or right, but one thing to note is that you take a left if you are in charge, and the right given to the one not in charge to choose between following you with a redress or go for good. And if choose to exercise your right to follow the one in charge for a redressal, meaning you'll have to be knowing whether you're to move forward together or be that you'll go back to the crossroads and do a retake, of which the final decision to rest with the one in charge unfortunately. So, take a left and leave in power only if you're in charge to avoid quixotic vexing of fortunes...

[Bide your time]

With time mistakes are made, with time solutions are found, with time created opportunities lost or used, and with time we wait for what next is to come. The one thing that is common in all those times is you, the user of time. Now, with so much value put in time, what would you do to extract worth out of that value?

Time carries regret, hope, healing, and moments flooded with sharing, caring, willingness, and protection of others. It's a good thing trying to be there for the next, but trouble is being there for them is at a cost in that you're bound to help where assistance is sought, and what if you can't afford to? We at times risk with other people's resources and but for how long will it last? What one ought to do is offer their support in the form of advice, being there with, and not promise to give what they can't.

I know, for people who can't hold back it's tough to sit back and fold arms but the truth is at other times a necessity to avoid future cost on you emotionally, physically, financially and worse, reputationally so. You personally sure know of someone who lost because of their kind deeds. This shouldn't say that one should refrain from helping and rather see it as a reminder and a warning. It neither say you should start being selfish, even though a must in some instances.

Sometimes one falls into the deeper ends for others and end up suffering in the name of trying to help. Again, be mindful that some people are there for you and or including your family and not for your extended members, and you asking for their assistance on behalf of the other a damage on your relationship with them because maybe it's only you they afford to help, and not the other way round. Hustling your own help for the next isn't on as it translates to you passing your supposed cost for glory to someone totally unrelated to the situation.

In conclusion: await your time to afford helping others on your own accord. It's a grim picture seeing how kindhearted ones are being used by emotional blackmailers, don't fall for that, especially if you're to go out with a hand stretched out for that. It's good and fulfilling to help, but do it because you can before you want because of the position you find yourself in. Be cogitant for your own sake, for help goes with responsibility for undertaking to avail it, and roping others in that a sign of irresponsibility on your part.

Saying NO to a help seeker not a bad idea to justify, as it's for saving self and helping them too in that saying no to them the best possible thing you could ever do for their help. And piece of a friendly advice; take time to work hard at building self for yourself, to can then afford lending help to the nexts 'cause riding on others' backs for your help of other not so on. How long it takes to build self isn't an issue, what's important is to have timelines to add value into you. Whether you use it or spend it, is entirely up to you the life liver, so, bide your time...dp

[Dissect your relations pulse]

Like possessions dear to one. Some relationships with some people are so valuable to you more than those people care to know at most sometimes. The time and care put on them a sure giveaway that sells you for what you see in them, have in them, and want to grow in them.

As you grow, with every year dusking an older number to the dawning of a new number in aging, you review the past year's plan for its execution or failure and its results if ever having had moved on it, and that's called retrospection. This alone will give you a clear picture of your path alone and your life with others.

What you are to self in comparison to others should highlight your direction with those you spent time around, and if it doesn't look the part to your plan, should know what next you are to do in stepping into the new phase. To be what you are to whom that isn't that to you is a waste of your capital resources, and have to enter into every new year in add to your number not only of age as just a natural course but rather an opportunity to start anew, to invite growth in your life, to practice what you are sans fear, and be that pride your purpose yearn in you for its shine. Lead the revolution of your evolution, you owe it not only to your self but also to those depending on your what you are.

The relationships between you and others are generally an ideal place to reflect on your presence in build up to your future, and that solely a start to your strategic revamp. Be careful of what your success says to you. What it means an extent of that which is of you from what is communicated by you in deeds mostly than it is orally, for it's a colourful real time statement we read you by always.

In conclusion: your enhancement of value is reduced or accelerated by you as its own curator. None will nurture your spirit, its hopes and dreams, and direction sans your active role in it. What others are to you should at all material times say back what you are and mean to them, and how you either respond or react totally in your power. The people who'll say out your worth in no words are those whom you help, trust and surround yourself with. Be sure to benchmark their draw backs with feedback from strangers to establish your true stance on them. The question left for you would then be; "am I the one in need of their circle or them in need of me in their circle?" Dissect the pulse of your relations with every being you chose to be near to, before your closeness to them, to elude leaping into another hole of self-deception...dp

[Conditional trust]

Muted honesty, rival pretence and selective support, these are some of the critical aspects of conditional trust. It is painful, and those who are experiencing it or have had will tell you. Having someone trusting you conditionally is a big deal if you get to be doing things for or with, in that chances are they don't like you fully or at all, and using you to get ahead. This ain't preternatural but rather a behaviour that's common in many a relationship we find selves locked in.

I say "locked in" because some of us are bound by honour to our word and those electing to be conditionally trusting of us knowing they're protected by that. Being truthful to such a person is burdensome to say the least, and what they don't know is that we see right through them but just choosing to keep up with their ill wicked bible ways. The danger of that is its enabling nature to breed dislikes that leads to splits that are strengthened by failure to weed out the root cause.

The most discouraging factor in human relations is the outsider elements, they have influence on things afar from them yet be afforded audience on conclusions about things that they don't know the real causative narrative of. Such elements are good at pinning perceptions and, the distrustful ones by nature gets their ears wired to the grove of the spiralled diasporan hypocentre. Trouble is, 'once trust is mislaid, it riles amok like a yellow eyed mauve bull in endless bouts to out a rectahedral rink kraal' [1].

It's hurtful to discover that the person whom you trust doesn't trust you same. It at times result from what we did to trigger that distrust and but sometimes be purely out of one's precaution from own observation or be because of others. Many families, relationships, entities are broken on the back of that because after discovering the one you bet with doesn't bet with you, as they trust you less. Truth is, trust me conditionally and I cease mine on you, and being near you a choice left only to a serial tolerant few.

In conclusion: treat your mind in shake to this; 'epibole a sweet chorus to a sole that loves the sound of a broken record' [2], and if such type happens to be an epibiota to your system, a worse case dependency arrangement of kind. And but, what remains to dot in whole punch is undermark finer jots and tittles of their deeds, that's if you're interested in the makings of their peril sort to your being...dp
